The Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office told WBNS-10 TV that 70-year-old David Shannon was driving his Dodge Ram east on U.S. Route 62 and attempted to pass another vehicle heading eastbound.
While attempting to pass, Shannon collided head-on with a Kenworth semitruck traveling westbound on the road, WBNS-10 TV reported.
The impact from the crash caused the semitruck to go left of center and side swipe a Subaru, which spun out and struck a utility pole.
Shannon was pronounced dead at the scene. The sheriff’s office did not confirm whether the other drivers were injured in the crash, WBNS-10 TV reported.
The crash remains under investigation.
